Ricochet: It's so good in Parkour, You can flip yourself more than once, and also brilliant in killing that you can turn the enemies Hull sometimes   :D.

Can M2+ Rico last all the way till M3?

Can M2+ Rico last all the way till M3?

From the M2 Ricochets I've seen in battles on my Lieutenant General account, I'd say yes, but some micro-upgrades is always nice in long rank gaps.

RICOCHET: "HATED BY MANY,FEARED BY ALL"

More than perfect sentence to describe it,i don't want to flood this topic with hundreds of reasons why it is good.All i will say:
-it has good damage
-great fire ratio(since the last balance)
-average impact force(only noticable on light hulls)
-great turning speed
-perfect range(after the balance it is literaly long range)
-and it goes well with almost any hull.

If anyone is double thinking about buying it.THINK NO MORE,go for it,at first it will be tricky to control it properly....since it's mainly turret for pro's.....it requires great amount of focus + skill.

Goes well for any hull... Including mammoths n titan?

Extremely good in short and mid range maps, but in long range... FEAR THE RAILGUN!!!! B) B) B)

Rico doesn't do anything particularly well, other than parkour. You can't lay down supressive fire since you use all your plasma, and in head on combat twins is better. You can't utilise cover as well as smoky or thunder and the reload is awful, ever worse then hammer's.

 

Rico does the midfielder job quite well though, and the ability to at least damage someone 100% of the time makes it great in intense battles like Sandbox CTF.

 

Then again, smoky shreds light hulls more effectively as bullet travel time is instant, so you can't really dodge a smoky. Rico's shots are lazy and have trouble keeping up with wasps and hornets.

That is all depending on map.....it is usable with Mammoth and titan,only downside is that after you kill 1-2 guys you loose ammo but still you have lots of armor and you can either sit and wait to recharge or try to hide and return

Rico deals a lot of damage per shot,it has enough range to kill even long ranged guns,it can bounce shot of walls (obviously) now more effectively,in head to head i can kill twins with rico...only thing i have to do is be further than 15m away...and it's dead....even at close range i just circle around twins and make him miss.

 

It is more effective at killing light hulls tho,and since it reloads faster it is even more effective,sir don't forget ricochet was the strongest turret in the game before.Thay had to nerf it drasticaly to make a balance.....so therefor your statement "ricochet doesn't do anything particularly well" is incorrect.(i'm sorry if you ment in a way that it doesn't have anything specific it does next to everything good)

 

I fought many battles with rico like a thousand,it is alongside smoky most versatille gun in the game,only problem with it is that i get myself killing a mammoth and loosing all my plasma,then i have to find cover untill my recoil is at least half filled...

 

But actually rico is not ment for single shooting.(What i mean by that it is not good when shooting 1 guy constantly) It is more of an support gun.

Example. when rail shoots 1 guy i need 2-4 shots to finish him off....or i firstly shoot 2-4 times and than he fires...result the same.

 

So insted of rapidly shooting 1 guy it should be used to shoot as many other tanks as possible...

[fufususumumu1 240]

it is DEFINITELY a pro's turret also. look on youtube, and see rico users play with it (including generalissimos). if you look carefully enough, they miss out on all the opportunities to use rico's special ability, ie. bounce effect. because they treat this as any other turret, they do not see the OPness of the turret is used correctly. it is pretty simple to know the deciding factor to be a pro: whether the bounce effect is used effectively or not. Others come secondary... 

now go watch a battle of charcharbeast having a duel with another player and check for any differences.

one more thing that is required of a rico is ability to predict the opponents movement, which makes it very useful in mid-to long range attack

Dude, stop crying, I know rico has its place. Maybe I could've worded myslef more clearly. By 'rico doesn't do anything particularly well' I really meant, 'rico isn't best at any one thing. This fits into it being a versitile gun.

 

I wish people would stop thinking I insulted their favourite gun. I could list a bunch of drawbacks for every turret in the game, as well as a number of advantages.

 

No need to send in the cavalry because Insaid something bad about a turret, geez.

Thanks for the advice, I was actually thinking about Poly CP :) I heard that mammy + rico is a nightmare there.

I was beeing nice,not arguing.....just saying that your statement was wrong.I can talk to you untill tomorrow about rico.I know a lot lot more than you about and i would wipe you out in 1 v 1 -playing with rico.

 

And i'm not crying...rico has very few drawbacks...and i said  that i'm sorry if you ment it in that way.But you did not read it obviously.

[S.P.A.R.T.4.N 1,495]

No problem :) ....but just 1 more tip....if you play with that combo CP don't shoot 1 guy....try to hit as many as possible 2-3 times it is more usefull for your team and for you

[grandpegasis5123 20]

RIco is OP, especially on dp

Awwww sorry.

 

Firstly, you don't know you would wipe me out in a 1 V 1 using rico. On Sanbox, I would melt you down using my fire and even if you killed me the burn would get you. Or I could use rail and kill you while only showing my hull for a second.

 

I did read your comment, but you seemed to presume that I didn't mean that so I thought I'd let you know.

 

My statement was wrong? Nah, you pick something out you think was wrong and I'll explain it to you.

Then you wouldn't Mind if we do 1 v 1 add me...i will show you.

Sure thing! Add me. My name's easier to remember.

This is a battle of who can be the more condescending.

[fufususumumu1 240]

This is a battle of who can be the more condescending.

i bet they are not going to have that battle even. Just word games with each other. same thing happened to me recently. The more higher ranked players, with a good command of the english language, always seem to find people with lower ranks or bad english communication in chat to be much more easier targets to pick on... i dont know if this is a mere coincidence or just natural reaction to 'bully' someone lower than you. that, or people just get easily aggravated.

not saying that this is the case, and i probably am going to receive a lot of hate for this statement, but this is what i have noticed from the last 1 1/2 years on the forums

Ricochet is good at lower ranks but becomes weaker in higher rankes as the speed of hulls increase :P

[dataDyne 24]

Ricochet is overpowered.

[L.I.B.E.R.A.T.O.R 218]

Anyone good at rico can pass me some tips on how to master it properly?

 

I keep using it as a assault gun, which doesn't utilize the property of rico...

[fufususumumu1 240]

one good thing about rico is that if you're against a 90 degree inclined wall, then you do not have to have perfect aim to hit the target, let the wall do the work for you! your margin of error should be between the player and the wall, so it will be much easier to get your shots properly.

playing on maps such as future (or factory?) will give you a slight advantage because of this and also the tunnels present in the map, which can also be used as rebounding surfaces to hit the tank
